Where does opinion come from? World-Information.Org traces the power structures that influence the process of opinion making and its outcome. Transnational corporations and tycoons generously fund  think tanks that produce vast quantities of scientific studies and policy recommendations. Often labeled as independent institutes these organizations aim to shape public opinion and government policy over a wide range of issues so as to advance the political ideologies of their donors. World-Information.Org examines the influence of private interest and corporate lobbying in the overall research and content production and furthermore charts the role of intelligence agencies.
